I had this issue and solved it by adding full permission to the windows Temp folder.

The codes 2503 and 2502 are windows installer error codes (See: here for a list of all windows installer error codes & messages); The issue can come up when installing many programs, so googling this issue will likely lead you to general windows tech support.

For me, I believe the issue was with my clock being un-synced as I was previously playing with set-date on PowerShell to change my system clock.

There are many other suggested fixes which often include the following general steps:

  • Relaxing file permissions on C:\Windows\Installer
  • Relaxing file permissions on C:\Windows\TEMP
  • Unregistering and reregistering the Windows Installer as suggested in @AnilRana's answer using msiexec /unreg & msiexec /regserver

For more potential solutions, I recommend searching for error 2503 at https://answers.microsoft.com/ and searching through tech support threads to find suggestions.
